Kent, his dad Jeff and brother Nick flew in from TX just to fish with for Kent's annual trip with me. Well, with the wind blowing 30-35 MPH it would be a tough day but off we went. The guys caught snappers, sharks and jacks and when the tide was right I took them to a flat that works for me and fished for bonefish. We ended up hooking four and landing one bonefish, quite a feat in this relentless wind. Whew, time for a nap!

Sometimes it just works out that way. Ricky and his wife Samantha jumped aboard today and Ricky really wanted to land his first bonefish. He's caught tons of fish before but this one still eluded him. It was a gorgeous day but no the easiest with a steady 20 MPH wind blowing straight at us. We went to a spot I really like, especially under these wind conditions and got to work. It seemed like in no time later Ricky was hooked up and landed his first bonefish. Whew, mission accomplished. We could have had a double header but the second fish spit the hook. After missing a few more bites and then getting slow we turned out attention to Samantha who really just wanted to catch fish and the shark she caught "didn't count". LOL I found bait, threw the net, loaded the well and hit a wreck. Live chumming had the fish going nuts and they caught mutton snapper, yellow jacks, mangrove snappers and lost a few really nice fish.

John called me at 8am wanting to go fishing today with his wife so I said yes and got ready. Two hours later they were in the boat and off we went. I got them on some fish from the beginning but I wanted them to catch something big. I decided to run down to the flats and shark fish as John's wife really wanted to see sharks. Well, we hooked 6 sharks and lost five, all to different reasons. In the end, they were happy, I was happy and it was time to go home.

Today I had Chet and his two buddies aboard and they just wanted to catch fish. I caught bait and off we went hitting a few spots where they caught different species to warm them up. Then I took them to another spot that was loaded with jacks and kept them busy until the star performer showed up and when they did it was on! Bull sharks couldn't resist the commotion and could be seen swimming close to the boat. In the end we hooked five and lost all five. Urgh! They guys are now hooked and want a bull shark next time. Me too!

Today was supposed to be on fire as I looked at the forecast and the tide. When Alec and I met up in the Everglades it was a different story. The wind was cranking and there was much more water on the flats than there should've been. Oh well, it's time to go to work. We hit the first spot and the water was really dirty from the wind but did mange some bites and finally land a snook. OK, it looks like it's going to be good since the first few minutes were solid. Then, it slowed down. We spent the rest of the trip looking for clean shallow water and every time we found it we scored. In the end Alec had s good number of shots at redfish on the flats and landed a few snook. Tough day but we caught some fish.

What awesome conditions this morning and we took advantage of every second. First time fly fishing for bonefish, Adam was armed with my 8wt and his wife Meagan was cheering him on. We had a decent number of shots in the morning and then decided to get Meagan busy bending some rods. I located a school of pilchards, threw the cast net a few times and with the live well blacked out we hit a few spots I had a good feeling about. Well, with a live well full of pilchards, most spots give me a good feeling. Live chumming we had the grouper and mutton snapper going crazy with Meagan and Adam staying busy landing groupers and an assortment of species. Twice Meagan hooked monster grouper that burned up the drag and broke her off on structure. Then the schools of big mutton snappers would move in changing the color of the water and sky rocketing out of the water crushing the live chum. A few well placed casts had Adam hooked up and hearing the drag sizzle. What an awesome morning!

I had a day off today but got a call from my friend Mike asking if I wanted to fish Flamingo this morning. I was on the fence since I wanted a couple of days off but I couldn't say no. Meeting at 7am and driving down together we launched by 8am and we were off to the races. What a difference from Friday, no high winds and no dirty water but we still had a huge incoming tide and tons of water on the flats. Well, we fished one spot and that is all we needed. We fished less than three hours and in that time caught redfish, lost a nice tarpon and released over 25 snook! Once the tide slackened, things cooled off and we headed home. What a morning! There were times our lures would get hit multiple times without a hookup and the next cast yielded a solid hook up, and at one point I made three casts and caught two snook while missing the bite on the third cast. Yes, it was epic, yes it was awesome and yes, I want to do it again!
